Pyle is hilarious, I remember when he first started with those alien comics. His shit really fits my sense of humor lol

yeah if you clicked the link it shows there is an iOS app.

I went to go see if there was any new info and just saw that as well, kind of encouraging to see it confirmed they will work with mastodon though

from this article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/5/23784160/instagram-threads-twitter-competitor-web

yeah I’m not holding my breath haha I was not expecting it to be on ActivityPub so was surprised to read that rumor, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they are very restricted or defederate basically everyone else

I have absolutely no intention of using Threads (for obvious reasons: meta data collection), but I’m interested to see if it can push the fediverse into mainstream conversation. I basically only used twitter for sports news so if those reporters end up on Threads and I can follow them from Mastodon I wouldn’t mind. Of course none of that matters if it’s not on ActivityPub like it’s rumored to be, or if they implement any kind of restrictions to users not on their instance, like following users or liking posts.

Agreed! I’m replying to you from wefwef right now and I’m liking it a lot, reminds me of apollo a bit

I’ve been trying out the same ones as you, haven’t heard of wefwef so I’ll give that a try. Although I think liftoff is my least favorite. Memmy seems to have the best performance for me. I also really like Thunder, definitely recommend trying that one out if you haven’t
